Cameron Stephens Expands Western Canada Platform with Addition of Aaron Unger as Senior Vice President

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cameron Stephens Mortgage Capital Ltd. (CSMC) is pleased to announce that Aaron Unger has joined the firm as Senior Vice President, based in Calgary.

Aaron joins Cameron Stephens' growing Western Canada team and will play a senior leadership role across business development, market expansion, credit adjudication, and operational oversight as the firm continues to scale its regional platform across Alberta and British Columbia.

Aaron brings more than 20 years of commercial real estate and banking experience to Cameron Stephens. Prior to joining the firm, he held senior leadership roles at National Bank of Canada, including Regional Vice President and Managing Director of the Western Canada Real Estate Group. During his tenure, Aaron was instrumental in building and expanding the Bank's commercial real estate financing platform across Western Canada, growing both the team and loan portfolio to more than $8 billion in assets under management. Aaron holds a Bachelor of Management degree from the University of Lethbridge and has deep roots across the Western Canadian real estate community.

"We are incredibly excited to welcome Aaron to Cameron Stephens. Aaron is highly respected across the Western Canadian real estate market and brings deep relationships, strong credit instincts, and proven leadership experience. Equally important, he aligns with the entrepreneurial culture and long-term vision we are building at Cameron Stephens." Steve Cameron, President & Chief Operating Officer, Cameron Stephens

"Cameron Stephens has built an exceptional reputation in Western Canada, and I'm excited to be joining the team at such a pivotal moment in the firm's growth. The platform, the people, and the long-term commitment to this market are exactly what drew me here. I look forward to contributing to what I believe will be a very significant chapter for Cameron Stephens in the West." Aaron Unger, Senior Vice President, Cameron Stephens

The addition of Aaron is another significant milestone in Cameron Stephens' continued investment in Western Canada. Over the past few years, the firm has expanded its regional footprint through strategic hires, increased origination capacity, enhanced investment management capabilities, and the launch of dedicated Western Canada capital initiatives. In 2025, Cameron Stephens launched the Western Canada High Yield Fund ("WCHY"), a dedicated investment vehicle designed to provide flexible commercial real estate financing solutions across the region while deepening relationships with Western Canadian investors and borrowers.

Cameron Stephens currently manages $550 million in assets under administration across Western Canada, and the firm has set an ambitious target to grow this to $2 billion within the next three years. Aaron's appointment is central to that strategy, providing the senior leadership and market relationships needed to accelerate origination, attract new investor partners, and deepen the firm's presence across Alberta and British Columbia.

As part of this continued growth, Cameron Stephens is also preparing to open a new Calgary office later this year, which will serve as the regional hub for its expanding Western Canada operations. The firm expects to continue building out its Calgary-based team across origination, underwriting, and operations as market opportunities continue to grow.

"We are building the strongest commercial real estate debt platform in Canada, and that means hiring the best and brightest in the industry. Aaron is exactly that. This is a significant hire for Cameron Stephens and a real statement of intent for what we are building in the West." Riccky Dasgupta, Senior Vice President and Managing Director, Cameron Stephens Mortgage Capital.
